I walked into a tent at a festival called Tribal Gathering in the late 90s and they were playing and I thought I was imagining what was going on up on the stage. Dance, Irish, African all smashed together it was awesome. The guy with the talking drum was jumping about and the crowd were loving it. There has never since been anything else quite like them.

I discovered the Afro Celts in the late 90's and my love and admiration for their unique style of music have grown and grown. Having both African and Gaelic heritage I feel well and truly part of their world! Beautiful music for the soul!

I also first saw them live in Dublin, Ireland in 1998 and could not get enough of their music. At the time I was living in Dublin. I adore them.

Saw them live last year. Over the years, I`ve seen many bands at festivals.Every now and then, one stands out as being in a different league...and all there recognise it. Afro Celt Sound System were one such band..along with Alabama 3 at the same venue...that you cannot truly appreciate until you`re THERE. The performance...like art..simply speaks for itself, whatever the genre or setting. Its the synergy of spirit, energy, skill, the crowd, virtuosity, chemistry, the music...and....um...feck knows. Just go see them.... :)...stick it on your bucket list.

For anyone who's read the _Dune_ series... This music, especially the Celtic pipes in the beginning followed by the emptiness and primal beat, is a perfect melodic representation of The Scattering after the death of The Tyrant. The burst of bagpipe sound is like the yoke of oppression being lifted from humanity after 3500 years of tyranny, only to emerge into a vast, empty universe with only ourselves as a guide...

Oh yeah, started slow, that's how you load the cannons of passion. It gets you achin'. And that crazy flute over the top of the swollen ache, like a finger nail across the hot spot. Sharp and ah! The drums like my poundin' heart. I only inhales. In and in. Dancin' sets my crazy free! And what a great discovery ... FUSION going back to them black ... the only white people who seem truly INDIGENOUS and I mean the Irish, meeting what I believe were the FIRST of the FIRST peoples! It's like rolling down the mountain inside a padded leather marshmallow.
